Abstract
In this experimental investigation five R407C positive displacement hermetic reciprocating compressors, covering different capacities, displacement, stroke-to-bore ratios and number of cylinders, have been characterized using propane as refrigerant by means of a specifically designed characterization test rig. Test results have been systematically compared with their R407C reference performance data to obtain a complete picture on changes on the volumetric efficiency and compressor efficiency amongst others. The compressors used POE oil as lubricant and additional oil circulation rate (OCR) tests at steady state conditions were done to evaluate possible effects and differences to the traditionally used mineral oils.
